KEYNOTE TOOLS: Tell Me a Story

	Students record tours consisting of place marks containing pictures, video, audio or text.

	Similar to blabberize; however, with voki students do not arrange the movement of the mouth. Recording and publishing takes place in several easy steps allowing 60 second recordings.
